The 16% figure corresponds specifically to the year 2024, not to a broader or more general recent period.
Some sources indicate 15.8% instead of exactly 16%, with the latter being an approximation or rounding.
The total spending on railway infrastructure was 4.319 billion euros, which allows for contextualizing the absolute volume of maintenance (683 million).
This percentage (15.8%) represents the lowest level of investment in maintenance since 2016.
The sources found are journalistic sources that cite official data; the primary source from Adif or the Ministry of Transport has not been located directly.
